Interesting, I however would not get any toughness if you are converting to a critical type thief. Why? because your not suppose to outlive your opponent while conditions eat them away, more so just survive a few big hits for you to take down your opponent before he and his friends take you down, therefore vitality is definitely the more logical choice in my case at least. However your free to build however you’d like though unbuffed with my pow/vit/crit dmg accessories and my berserker with eagle rune armor allows me to achieve near maximum damage output while still maintaining a healthy 17k health in terms of WvW unbuffed. Goes well to close the gap depending on your performance with +10 power per kill sigil with the might sigil as well. Yet like I said it is all your choice. I’d feel no fear taking down a critical thief stocked with toughness anyday.

Contacting them would work as well.
I’m going to keep it simple and to the point. The guild is comprised of mostly geared level 80’s who are very tight knit and helpful. Everyone within the medium sized guild is extremely active and on TS every night.
Right now our main focus is farming for our Legendary, however the majority still actively participate in WvW/sPvP and Dungeons. I’m recruiting lower levels that are focused on gaining max level, of course the guild being tight knit and maxed out are willing to help speed up the process. However were mainly looking for level 80’s to join us in actively farming CS events and WvW for the gifts. All that is required is to be active.
We are allied with 3 of the top WvW guilds as well, and have a commander of our own. Sanctioned and elaborate WvW is always going on within the TS, and with our allies we use around 5 commanders spread across all maps at a time. If you are active and want more information, feel free to contact me in-game on my thief IGN: Jaucko
Other than that like I said before it is an extremely tight knit guild looking for people that would like to be part of this squad. We do not recruit just anybody that comes along, I prefer to target a specific demographic. Most of us are military folk and play this game to relax after work, and are very focused on the goal.
Contact me for more information.
Let’s move into WvW aspect of a thief, automatically assume were talking about orange exotic gear.
So full Runes of Divinity is a no-go for a critical HS/BS thief, in terms of stealth the idea is to burst your target down glass-cannon style and get out of the fuzz, perhaps even pop cloak for a quick BS take down then C/D while their down for an invisible finisher. How about those Runes of the Eagle? is there any alternatives that would make it cheaper for the same effect? and do you like the idea of full Runes of the Eagle with vitality accessories and gemmed for vitality as well like stated above? Also with all that, would you use C/D for anything other than a finisher or a get out of jail card?
Feel free to be detailed about this thread, take note this is focused on WvW/PvE HS/BS
critical thieves only.
Indeed, however lets be more specific. As oppose to a pure berserk all around damaging crit thief of course it is very problematic in WvW scenario’s and sometimes problematic during dungeons. If you’d refer to the initial post you would see I was elaborating on WvW scenario as the basis of this discussion, and a glass cannon berserk thief with divinity runes to counter some of that issue. However all I was saying is instead of playing it safe with Divinity, replace your berserk accessories with pow/vit/crit and use Eagle runes. The difference is you actually gain more HP as oppose to Divinity without sacrificing, perhaps even amplifying the damage that you put out. Obviously there is the scenaro in which a berserk thief would use Eagle instead of Divinity, however that was not what I was originally saying.
You gain more damage from raising Crit damage % instead of Power, because it doesn’t matter how hard you hit if you do not crit.
On the contrare, you gain 2000 HP and aside from losing a bit of precision, you actually increase your damage output as well as keep power the exact same. Basically amplifying your critical burst as well as giving you perhaps that final critical chance you need to seal the deal.
Runes of Divinity do not exist anymore lol.
Hey all, I got to get to work so I’m going to make this quick.
Imagine a thief with all level 80 exotics
The stats on that gear are Power/Prec/Crit %
Using 2 Exotic Power/Prec/Crit% Daggers
With Power/Vit/Crit% Accessories, in which those have Power/Vit/Crit% jewels.
Sigils right now do not matter, however the Runes that you would use are all Exotic Rune of the Eagle.
The reason I’m saying this is because alot of thieves who go glass cannon complain about the lack of ability to have alot of health, therefore not surviving in situations similar to a 3 on 10 or a 1 on 5.
Many play it safe doing everything as Power/Prec/Crit% and just using Runes of Divinity to give them a small boost in HP, that’s what I first did as well. However after playing for a while and carving my gear out to exactly what I want it to be. I’m a Juggernaut of damage built like a brick house.
Try this out and let me know if it helps you.
2 Berserk daggers (whatever sigil you see fit)
Armor is all Pow/Prec/Crit% with Eagle Runes
Accessories are Pow/Vit/Crit% with all Pow/Vit/Crit% jewels.
You were looking for a way to substantially increase your damage as a Crit Thief while also gaining HP? Try that out and let me know whatsup.
